Boyfriends, Ranked

Boyfriends, Ranked

When people focus on the boys that Taylor dates? Well, to us, that's sexist and reductive. But it's also, pretty fun :) This week we're ranking Taylor's nine confirmed boytoys, from the most boring rag to the sexist thespian. Make sure to tweet at us and enlighten us to how Taylor Lautner actually isn't pathetic. Ethan's Twitter - @ethanisafungi; Rachel's Twitter - @rachonthecob; Pod Twitter - @PodcastToBurn

This week we dive deep into the 2020 Taylor Swift documentary, "Miss Americana". We thought we would talk for like 45 minutes but it was actually longer than some of our album-focused episodes. Whoops! Ethan's Twitter - @ethanisafungi; Rachel's Twitter - @rachonthecob; Pod Twitter - @PodcastToBurn

Um, yeah, we're starting to get a little bit, RANDOM! We're talking about all the random taylor tracks that have been attached to movies, other artists, and walmart-exclusive discs (???) And if you thought there wasn't going to be a track that makes us cry, wrong! Tune in to hear the last music-focused episode for a while! NEXT UP - we will be discussing the 2020 Taylor Swift documentary, Miss Americana. Ethan's Twitter - @ethanisafungi; Rachel's Twitter - @rachonthecob; Pod Twitter - @PodcastToBurn

Hmmm.... president is telling white supremacists to "stand by"... maybe that is an issue that i should be focusing on for a while? WRONG. What really needs my undivided attention? This episode of Podcast to Burn, 'cause we're talking folklore baby! Is this Taylors best album? One of us sure thinks so. The other one maybe thinks so too but he's not gonna say just yet.

You're my, my, my, my - "scuba"??? That will make sense once you listen to the episode! Or will it??? :D This week we are discussing Taylor's ACTUAL comeback album, 2019's Lover. We also go DEEP on taylor's political awakening at age 30. Better late than never, I guess? Maybe? Ethan's Twitter - @ethanisafungi; Rachel's Twitter - @rachonthecob; Pod Twitter - @PodcastToBurn

before 2017, no one had ever made a song about being horny. there were no albums about getting drunk and having sex and being mad at the kardashians. then reputation came out, and everything changed. one of the most monumental changes? everyone decided that taylor swift was bad now. do we agree with this? you can probably guess. listen to the episode anyways Ethan's Twitter - @ethanisafungi; Rachel's Twitter - @rachonthecob; Pod Twitter - @PodcastToBurn

1989... The year Taylor Allison Swift was born. The album that cemented a true blue pop star. The episode of this podcast where Rachel and Ethan don't even really fight about anything at all. Kind of amazing the way fate works, no? Yes. This album is so good that we gush about it for most of the episode and then discuss some of our friends hot takes/questions concerning this perfect work from a once-in-a-generation talent.

BURNIN RED. What a funny episode we have for you guys this week!!! You are so lucky :) We talk all about Taylor's first REAL POP songs, and why All Too Well is the best work of art since that movie where citizen kane remembers his sled from when he was small. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this is our best and funniest episode. Will it only get better from here? NO Ethan's Twitter - @ethanisafungi; Rachel's Twitter - @rachonthecob; Pod Twitter - @PodcastToBurn

"God... I am so exhausted from a hard week of watching the republican national convention... what would be the perfect way to cap off my week?" Well, first off, don't watch that darn thing! Second, you should listen to us talk about Taylor's third studio album, Speak Now! I'll be straight with you guys, because I want to treat you all like adults. We spend a lot of this episode freaking out about Better Than Revenge. Jesus, that song is insane.Ethan's Twitter - @ethanisafungi; Rachel's Twitter - @rachonthecob; Pod Twitter - @PodcastToBurn

Wow! Some people really listened to the first episode of the podcast! "Please do a second one", they all said. Well, we listened, and, subsequently, now you can, listen, to us! Talk about Taylor Swift's second studio album, Fearless. And yeah, we talk about Joe Jonas. YES we talk about Abigail. And YES we both start to cry when we put on The Best Day. Sue us! Just kidding, don't!!!!! :) !!!! Ethan's Twitter - @ethanisafungi; Rachel's Twitter - @rachonthecob; Pod Twitter - @PodcastToBurn
